OBJECTIVE:

The primary objective of this promotion was to create a sales incentive contest that created excitement and inspired motivation around a unique theme in order to stimulate sales in three different divisions including a wide variety of demographics [age & sex] and psychographics [lifestyles] within the organization.

ORIGINALITY OF THE PROMOTION:

The highlight of this promotion was the carefully choreographed and timed marketing production. In addition, the number of strategically selected promotional products needed to properly launch and maintain the level of excitement is what makes this promotion stand above all others. National Home Warranty, has three divisions which sparked a creative idea for us to borrow Walt Disney’s legendary theme, “The Three Musketeers.” In addition to the theme, the slogan “One for all, and all for one” was also implemented because it embodied the company’s values of different divisions working together as one. Since the original story took place in Paris in 1884 we furthermore created a grand prize round trip to Paris, France to the winning staff members. Each product distributed included the “One for all” logo, tactically placed except for the “Three Musketeers” chocolate bars (logo says it all).
